Okay, okay. Where are my manners? Escaped out of the door, obviously, along with any notion of making sense. Welcome to all the new commenters. I don’t know where you all drifted in from, but it’s lovely to see you all the same.

i was under the impression that true East Enders did not put an “L” in “awroight” but, i stand corrected.

thank you for the Unreliable Witness Cockney-East-End-Geezer-Innit education, included free with every post. Well, not every. Just this one. Um.

She is. You are, Angelalala. Though I am only really an occasional viewer of ‘Enders (very occasional these days). “Awlroight, tweakle? ‘ave you got it sorted? Innit?”

Stop watching Coronation Street. No good ever came of it and none ever will.

I keep meaning to comment on your entries, you know. But I can never find the words to do them justice.

So, um, yes. Have a completely pointless comment, just to let you know that I’m reading, and usually fairly mesmerised.

It is not often you find something like this in the blogosphere. Refreshing.

Speechless.
This is my first visit here via my friend, Lizza.
Amazing command of words. I was mesmerized.
I will return.
Just superb.

choking on unwritten and unsent letters would surely be a new way to go…

but don’t because your writing is magical and always brings a touch of beauty to my otherwise mundane, ordinary day.

warty bliggens, the toad

i met a toad
the other day by the name
of warty bliggens
he was sitting under
a toadstool
feeling contented
he explained
that when the cosmos
was created
that toadstool was especially
planned for his personal
shelter from sun and rain
thought out and
prepared
for him

do not tell me
said warty bliggens
that
there is not a purpose
in the universe
the thought is blasphemy

a little more
conversation revealed
that warty bliggens
considers himself to be
the center of the said
universe
the
earth exists
to grow toadstools for him
to sit under
the sun to
give
him light
by day and the moon
and wheeling constellations
to make
beautiful
the night for the sake of
warty bliggens

to what act
of yours
do you impute
this interest on the part
of the creator
of the universe
i asked him
why is it that you
are so greatly
favored

ask rather
said warty bliggens
what the universe
has
done to deserve me
